[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]Holder's speech is the very definition of dictatorship in which the executive is judge, jury, and executioner. I argued this even before Al-Awlaki was killed. But, Arabs in general and Al-Awlaki in particular have been so demonized in this country that very few were willing to look beyond Al-Awlaki's beard and Quran and see the principles involved. If there is one thing we have learned over the past couple of decades its that once executive power is established, it will not be relinquished. As a candidate, Obama criticized the illegal wiretapping conducted by the Bush Administration. As President, Obama has defended that practice in court. Can you imagine the power to kill that Obama is establishing being in the hands of a President Santorum or President Gingrich?

It is disappointing that liberals have become so detached from their values that they are unwilling to criticize a President who is subverting the constitution in plain sight. But, it is bewildering that conservatives who have demonstrated in the street because they may have to purchase health insurance seem quite comfortable with the fact that they could theoretically be killed by Obama. Come on right-wingers, now is when your country needs you!

I think the difficulty for many liberals is that conservatives have such a long negative agenda on civil liberties that there is nowhere to turn.  The days of the true "small government conservative" are over
